Edmundo O'Gorman collection, 1542-[19--].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/33383823

Testimonies, correspondence, church and government documents, chronicles and histories, legal documents, memoirs, genealogies, and literary manuscripts from Mexico collected and arranged by Edmundo O'Gorman. The collection is focused on central Mexico and contains documents dating from the 16th to the 20th centuries (approximately 75 percent are from the 17th and 18th centuries). The documents concern the activities of prominent Mexican figures, families and property owners; the Catholic church and religious orders, primarily the Franciscans and the Jesuits; the treatment of Indians and blacks during the colonial period; and legal topics such as property, inheritances, and contracts. There are also many historical documents concerning the state of Pachuca and the city of Puebla. The most substantial of the family records are 66 documents (v. 1-66) concerning the Condado del Valle de Orizaba, dating from 1542-1865. Two significant 19th century documents are the "Memoria sobre la organización del Ejército Mexicano, 1853" (E.1), created to honor Antonio López de Santa Anna; and the "Expediente sobre Mariano Arista, 1816-1851" (A.4), containing Aristaʹs military appointments from early in his career and documents concerning many key contemporary military and political figures.
